back in the day when women were girls
When I was a child
Princes and knights rescued girls
And women who were also called girls
Back in the day
Boys were boys
Men were men
Girls were girls
Women were girls too
Girls waited for big brave men to save them
They rode up on horses and carried swords
They fought battles and slashed up dragons
They saved us girls
In the seventies old girls became women
I blame Helen Reddy and her song “I am Woman”
Princes and knights could finally go drink at a bar
Women could not save themselves
